(XB1)Hot Granny Jam 123 Posted July 31, 2015 Why neglect the Kohm? I potatoed and forma'd it six times, and ranked up Prime Point Blank just so I can use it with the shiny new shotgun buffs... oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuamii 9 Posted July 31, 2015 Kohm isn't listed in the patch notes as an exception? Several changes have been made to shotgun weapons across the board -- resulting in a list of changes similar from weapon to weapon. The following list of changes apply to all Primary Shotguns with exception to the Phage: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sea_Wall 864 Posted July 31, 2015 Why is the Strun Wraith's reload now 4.1 seconds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SortaRandom 14,030 Posted July 31, 2015 Why is the Strun Wraith's reload now 4.1 seconds?WHAAAAT?!?This has better be a bug. The only good that can come out of this is if DE stealth-changed it to reload one shell at a time instead of the whole clip at once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammahness808 585 Posted July 31, 2015 Boar P. went from 2.3 to 2.8 reload speed. Has +5 mag capacity, and an additional 67 total damage. It's status chance was lowered from 40% base to 30%. Edit: Drakgoon was buffed with a whopping +740 total damage. (or at least what my ingame screen shows vs the uncharged damage shown on non-updated wiki) Edit(2): Kohm's only change was a fire rate of 3.67 vs the 3.7 shown on wiki. Edit(3): Hek now does 525 total base dmg instead of 175. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StickyBaseline 939 Posted July 31, 2015 Edit 2: Thanks for fixing the Strun wraith, it was a buggy mess but now it's freaking cool! <3 Could really use some crit though since there's literally no shotgun that's suited for a crit build, meaning the mods are useless. There's still a bug where if you reload after firing 1 shot you are forced to reload after every shot for a pretty long time, it's pretty strange. Another issue is that EVERYTHING interrupts the reload, you can't even reload in the air like every other weapon which is really bothersome. Fixed in U17.03.

(PS4)excat_56 323 Posted July 31, 2015 I can't wait to actually be able to viable use my tigris.... soon. Tigris is love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArbitUHM 992 Posted July 31, 2015 My 3-forma Sobek does 9.5k damage per shot My 2-forma Drakgoon does 19k damage per shot My 1-forma Hek does 19.5k damage per shot This is only with a rank 8 Primed Point Blank. I imagine people with 6+ forma weapons and a maxed PPB are achieving insane numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XxTacTicBeastxX 129 Posted July 31, 2015 Why in RNG his name did Tigris get buffed to a base damage of 1k and seen players that now do around 12k damage with a 4 forma build and Boar P didnt get S#&$.. Like litteraly barely anything changed to boar if anything changed at all... Where is the so called buff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hueminator 905 Posted July 31, 2015 UI bugs maybe, I heard strun have 4.1s reload or so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArbitUHM 992 Posted July 31, 2015 Yeah looks like some shotguns got monster buffs (Tigris, Sobek, Drakgoon) and others didn't. Hopefully they'll make some more tweaks. I'm loving what I'm seeing so far though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehspuhkuh 103 Posted July 31, 2015 Did the Kohm receive any changes at all? The patch notes when they were released only mentioned that Phage would be omitted from changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tocorro 3,191 Posted July 31, 2015 I'm more impressed with Drakgoon :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evan-0-matic 725 Posted July 31, 2015 It only has TWO shots bud! Haha. The DPS is waaaay lower when compared to a shottie with 4+ shots in its magazine. Besides true bad asses always use a double barrel. Hence, 'bad &#! damage'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArbitUHM 992 Posted July 31, 2015 Kohm has the same stats shown on the wiki page. Assuming the wiki was not update lightning fast, it looks like the Kohm got no changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEcho 303 Posted July 31, 2015 Keyword to what they said, "some" were buffed in some way or the other. The rest could be bugged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tocorro 3,191 Posted July 31, 2015 Strun wraith has now worst stats than regular strun ? How so ? Why such a long reload time ??? That was the one stat which actually was great on it (reload speed). Tested what Tenno said. Strun got wrecked. Why does it have 8 shells in magazine if after each shot it is reloaded :/ [DE]Scott I know U guys are tired, but why do this ?

rehspuhkuh 103 Posted July 31, 2015 From what I can tell the Boar Prime did get a damage buff, though not as massive as what some other shotguns received. If I'm reading the wiki page correctly its magazine size also increased from 15 to 20. IIRC Boar Prime had some of the most serious fall-off damage of the lot, and with its focus on rapid fire (plus the mag buff) it could feel and perform a lot better than it did prior. Will need to test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
direcyphre 5,740 Posted July 31, 2015 Why the F*** did Strun wraith get such a big nerf, while all other shotguns got a buff to up to 600+ damage!? Strun wraith went from having a nice unique 1.5 second reload speed to a WHOPPING 4.1 second reload, WTF DE? What went wrong here??? Edit: It now seems to have a poorly made pump action? it says 4.1 second reload and 8 magazine size, but in reality the reload time is 1 second, and it forces you to reload after every shot, with a very annoying delay of like 0.3 seconds after you have finished reloading, I'm puzzled. So they changed how Strun Wraith operates from before? Sounds like maybe the wrong stats got copypasted.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HardcoreSalmon 358 Posted July 31, 2015 DE pls, why does the sobek still have a 4 second reload? I have to put tactical pump and seeking fury on just to make the weapon even usable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
